• Holguin said that their participation in the Summit does not depend on them

We only invite the countries who are observers, said Chancellor

BOGOTÁ, COLOMBIA (06/FEB/2012)-Chancellor of Colombia, María Angela Holguín, announced Monday that will deal directly with the Cuban Government on the proposal of the President of Ecuador, Rafael Correa, that their counterparts in the ALBA not attend the sixth Summit of the Americas if Cuba was not invited.

“I’m going to talk to Cuba on Wednesday.” It seems to me that the (planned) official visit was perfect. “I want to talk to them directly,” said Holguin journalists who asked him about the proposal of President Correa.

“I propose, Presidents, that if Cuba is not invited to the Summit of the Americas no country dawn” attend, she said strap counterparts of Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, meeting in Caracas at a Summit of the bloc on Saturday.

Colombia is the host of the sixth Summit of the Americas to be held between 14 and 15 April in the Caribbean resort of Cartagena (1,090 km north of Bogotá).

Chancellor Holguín also noted that assistance or not of Cuba at the Summit depends not on Colombia, but warned that “what we want is that we are all in agreement.” “We do not want impositions, we do not want that one should want and others don’t”, pointed out.

“We invite the countries who are observers, but Cuba is not an observer.” “We can not invite more than those who already they are,” he explained.

He also recalled that Cuba has not shown interest in returning to the Organization of American States (OAS), given that resolution of 1962 where spewing to the Communist Island continental Forum was lifted in the Honduras Assembly.

“Then I want to talk to them because if they have no interest, then interest in the Summit nor is clearly,” he added.

To the appointment of Cartagena is expected to assist the President of United States, Barack Obama.
